You're not going insane- you're going sane in a crazy world!

About Me

I'm 24, probably be 25 before I remember to change this in any way. I'm very happily married to my beautiful wife Sarah! We've been together for years, married for months! (I love you honey)I'm an extreme tea drinker, a little known extreme sport but a popular one all the same. I've been doing this for about 12/13 years at an extreme level, over the years I've taken it to various locations and X-treme limits.You can earn a decent wage being an extreme tea drinker as long as you are prepared to accept any location and combine it with other things like; the running of a pool hall, bar work or retail.Lately I've been craving that extra level of responsibility to make it all the more extreme! So I've applied to be a teacher - the tea drinkingest proffession out there (aside from removal man anyway). Hopefully this will provide the edge I've been needing!

WOW MySpace Cursors & MySpace Layouts

My Interests

NFL, Video Games, Music, Books, Films, Musical Theatre, Cliches... might as well say interesting things. I wonder what the strangest thing in this column is? Does anyone ever put things like "brushing my teeth" or "giving my cat tablets"?

I'd like to meet:

Randy Moss, Tiki Barber, Darren Sharper.... anyone from the NFL in fact. *** Just saw Tiki in NEW YORK, didn't exactly meet him, but thats pretty close!!! *** Groucho Marx Stevie Wonder Brent Carter (lead vocalist for TOP when I first saw them- almost met him then actually but was stopped by my star struck brother) The guy currently playing the part of "Roger" in Rent on Broadway. He's some kind of vocal God. I would steal his voice - Little Mermaid style! Oh Yes!Anyone who is nice! Nice people are good. Not nice people are not so good... width="425" height="350" ..

Music:

Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power, Take 6, The Roots, Alicia Keyes, John Legend, Elvis Costello, everything on my iPod, everything not on my iPod... unless its rubbish.

Movies:

Howls moving castle, Grave of the fireflies (it made me cry and I'm usually a robot). The Princess Bride!!! Die Hard 1,2&3, Casino Royale, City of God, Crash, Sin City, Steamboy, Little Miss Sunshine, Rocky 1-3 and Balboa, Hard Boiled, Starwars original trilogy, Indiana Jones trilogy, Jerry Springer the Opera

Television:

24, House, Scrubs, the NFL season. That'd do me fine.Actually, just back from NYC and have fallen in love with ESPN! NFL 24/7. British telly is rubbish.

Books:

Harry Potter books, Philip Pullman's books, Preacher, Time travellers wife. Its ace! Wizard's First Rule. Its also ace! But in a different way.
